August 22, 2025: To the ones who hold the measuring line
Today we send the light of our love to the truth-tellers, the auditors, the healers, the ones who can’t look away from what must be repaired
Dear friends,
Each day, we gather here - hearts from every corner of the globe - to share a breath, a quiet pause, and send the light of our love into a dark world.
Today we send the light of our love to those who hold the measuring line
To those who see the cracks in the system, the mess behind the curtain, the small details others ignore. Today, we honor the truth-tellers, the auditors, the healers, the ones who can’t look away from what must be repaired. They don’t point out the flaws to shame us - they do it because wholeness matters.
May our clear eyes not be dismissed
May the truth be heard without distortion.
May our care for the small things ripple into great change.
May the weight of responsibility be lightened by support.
May the world finally honor what we can see.
Today’s Light Point
Today, the Sun steps into Virgo. Most years, this marks the start of Virgo season - routine, familiar, the annual call to refine, repair, realign. But this year isn’t routine. Within hours, the Moon will join, and the two will meet at the very first breath of Virgo tomorrow for a once-in-centuries New Moon. The doorway isn’t just opening - it’s being sealed shut behind us. What’s broken can’t be ignored anymore. We’re walking into an audit of our lives, our systems, our stories.
And today…..the sky sharpens its focus
The Sun’s entry into Virgo turns the lights on in the workshop of the world, exposing frayed edges and shaky beams. With the Moon close behind, we feel the build toward tomorrow’s rare photo-finish New Moon.
This is a day for noticing what doesn’t fit, what doesn’t work, what can’t be sustained, and choosing integrity over illusion. The Virgo threshold doesn’t allow shortcuts. This is a day for clarity, for courage, and for beginning the repair
See you tomorrow morning!

Many thanks! So much is going on that is nice to have daily reminders for hope and gratitude. Virgo season here we come. The wheel turns and may the season and new moon shine on you.
Thank you for this. I finally have a job description: auditor. I struggle to explain this to others, and sometimes to myself. I don't feel like I do much truth telling because many do not seem interested in what I have to say, except other auditor friends. And even we auditors all have to leave off truth telling at some point before we bury ourselves together. Healing also seems far afield unless there is some hidden process at work- which I know is possible. But, as writers know they Must write, auditors know they must audit.
As a baby Buddhist, I search for answers. The best one I've found so far was a Bhiksu (sorry- I skated by and don't remember who, but did not forget the words-) who said: in times of deep corruption, greed and hate, we can still strive to be a better person. In fact, it can be an ideal opportunity.
Truly, Wiz, thank you for your work supporting so many.
